‘The Revenant’ and ‘The Hateful Eight’: How Much Blood and Guts Will Oscar Voters Endure?<\/h1>\n

Leonardo DiCaprio’s epic (featuring a brutal, gory assault by a bear) and Quentin Tarantino’s latest are set to test audience’s appetites for filmmaking as violent as it is visionary.<\/h2>\n

A frontiersman is impaled through the head by an arrow. A bear rips the flesh off Leonardo DiCaprio\u2019s back. And then DiCaprio dives off a cliff on a horse, eviscerates the dead beast and scoops out the guts so that he can take shelter in its carcass.<\/p>\n

Think these scenes from Alejandro G. Inarritu\u2019s\u00a0The Revenant<\/em>\u00a0(about a 19th\u202fcentury frontiersman who endures appalling conditions as he tracks down the fellow who has betrayed him) might be a bit much for the faint of heart? The Fox and Regency film isn\u2019t alone in stretching voters\u2019 appetite for gore. In Quentin Tarantino\u2019s\u00a0The Hateful Eight<\/em>, a bullet blasts a man\u2019s head to pieces, while a woman (Jennifer Jason Leigh) gets slapped around so much that it isn\u2019t quite clear if all her teeth remain.<\/p>\n

These two major movies will attempt to out-do each other in the brutality stakes this awards season \u2014 and just how willing Oscar voters are to tolerate their extremes may go a long way toward determining whether they emerge as frontrunners in this year’s extraordinarily heated competition.<\/p>\n
